Original: Silk Sash, 1830s

Woman's silk sash, 1830s, from LACMA.

I really love the multicolored pattern. It's a little jarring to my eye that slightly different shades of gold are dominant in the constructed bow, the tails, and the waistband. However, I think the overall effect is lovely, and is just the sort of jolly, colorful garment to brighten up early spring/late winter/whatever this time of year is trying to be.
